English (En català a continuació)

Medea (a la carta) is a performative proposal about the myth and deconstruction of Medea as a character. This work is based upon the films Medea by Pasolini and Medea by Lars Von Trier; Roberto Calasso's narrative in The Weddings of Cadmo and Harmony, and the texts Medea Material by Heiner Müller and God-Dog by Toni Cots. It is structured around 4 short pieces, each of which has its own entity and consists in a different approach to the character and its myth, which become visible through the dialogues that are taking place between myself, the spectator and the character. The evocation of Medea help us to build a new relation with her.

This proposal aims at generating a space of intimacy in which new ways of looking upon the performative take place, and to establish a relation with the public in which to expose and share different issues that question the contemporary approach of the myth. Up to now I have performed Medea (a la carta) in houses and private spaces.

Esther Freixa will present Medea (a la carta) in the Antic Teatre from september 27th to november 24th. homesession is glad to provide a complementary opportunity to see that creation in a space that challenges indeed the traditional conception of stage and the expected relation between the artist and the audience.

(EN) Medea (a la carta) springs from the dialogue Esther Freixa and Toni Cots have established around a research about creation, especially in the fields of performing arts, since July 2007. This dialogue takes the form of a creation on stage: Esther Freixa focuses on interpretation and Toni Cots brings an external look, giving a special emphasis on the general concept and the narrative articulation. After one year and half of intense work, this creation began to be shared with the audience in January 2009. The research continues however, thanks to the permanent contact with the audience, that brings new materials and leads Esther Freixa to modify and give a new scale to each piece, step by step, following her personal evolutions.

We're pleased to announce the event organized to present the works realized by visual artists Sabrina Harri and Margarita Pineda on April 30th at 8.30 pm.

Sabrina Harri (Finland), our 11th resident, will present preparatory works for her solo exhibition at Å Gallery - Turku (Finland). Margarita Pineda will show a specific intervention she's been working on for the Invited-One-Day programme.

We hope we can count on your attendance!
